Gas cooler exterior washing systems
Due to contamination of the exterior surfaces of tube banks continuous operation of air-cooled gas coolers causes a reduction of efficiency, leads to higher power requirements for the fans and increased fuel consumption.
With its proprietary technology and dedicated equipment, Turbotect Saint-Petersburg Ltd. offers an integrated solution for the exterior cleaning of air-cooled gas coolers, allowing cooling efficiency to be increased by 7-10% and fuel consumption to be reduced.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
